-Resources and links that will explain how to modify the wiki.  ​The wiki is entirely supported by past and current students from BME235. ​ Please take the extra time to ensure that your posts to the wiki match the [[Style guide | style guide ]].  Additionally take extra care to ensure that your posts are in the right [[https://​www.dokuwiki.org/​namespaces | name space]] throughout the site. This makes navigation using the sitemap (see the top right of the wiki) much easier, and it will allow the wiki to expand and support future efforts. ​+The wiki is entirely supported by past and current students from BME235. ​ Please take the extra time to ensure that your posts to the wiki match the [[Style guide | style guide ]].  Additionally take extra care to ensure that your posts are in the right [[https://​www.dokuwiki.org/​namespaces | name space]] throughout the site.

 +Important notes about modifying the wiki;  
 +  * **Use the '​Preview'​ button before submitting.** 
 +  * **Always provide an edit summary.** 
 +  * **For minor changes, click the 'Minor Changes'​ box** 
 + 
 +The wiki stores past revisions of every page. They can be accessed through the side bar using the 'Old revisions'​ tab.  This can be used as a last resort, when a page is altered beyond recognition or accidentally deleted.  
 + 
 +==== Computer servers ==== 
 +The servers and resources that have been used so far in the project. ​ The most universal resource is UCSC's [[https://​support.soe.ucsc.edu/​craigslist | campusrocks server]], which requires a UCSC Cruz Blue ID and password to login.

 +During the Spring 2015 [[https://​www.soe.ucsc.edu/​people/​ed | Ed Green ]] was able to let students use his server edser (edser2.ucsc.edu). The server has 390 G of RAM, which is necessary for certain assembly algorithms (Discovar //de novo//).  
 + 
 +In both the Spring 2012 and Spring 2015 classes the server Kolossus was accessed. ​ Kolossus is a 1TB RAM machine that the UCSC Genome Browser group uses.  Access is restricted, but students interested in using it can contact the [[http://​genome.ucsc.edu/​staff.html | UCSC Genome Browser system administration staff]]
